I spent a week with 'Mae' [or Mac'??] a while back, and had the dandiest time. When are you coming home? Tell Alice hello. How is Ben? Guess he is O.K. ha. ha. Ans. soon. Maggie"The Horseshoe Bottom (Russell County) newsletter in the December 6, 1911 News stated Ovalene had visited her cousins, the Misses Martha and Ficy Beck, over the weekend.
